  1. Public health vs community health nursing

    A public health nurse is aways community health nurse, but a community health nurse is not always a public health nurse. LOL Ex- SOme school nurses are community health nurses- they work in the...
  2. Had a transvaginal exam, and I'm depressed.

    It's bunk when it takes weeks to get reports back- when I worked ER, we could get a report back in an hour or less. Call and bug them until they LISTEN. I hope it was nothing.
  3. LOL We see it- I wish they would! More nurses=lower ratios=safer care/practices=less lawsuits=more
  4. The CDC actually recognizes a link between the flu vax and GB dz. From:
  5. As I said, I am all for vaccinations. My child is totally up to date on everything, got everything on time, and I do advocate for vax's. I am a member of several local mom's groups, and do my best to...
  6. School Nurse Get to Know You!

  7. While I am all for vaccinations (I work public health, I ought to), we need to remember that it is a parental decision, just as much as it is for someone of a different religion to refuse blood...
  8. Is the steroid amt. in an inhaled steroid (used for asthma and COPD) enough to cause hyperglycemia? I ran it by my husband, and he said " a steroid is a steroid", but just wondering what everyone else...
  9. Hyperglycemia related to inhaler use

    Holding yourself accountable and by preparing a remediation plan prior to her doing it goes a LONG way. You'll be a great
  12. Makes you wonder.......

    You day sounds like mine! First thing I got was the boy who put 50-100 lac's in his right arm. Saw some random things between that. Lots of GI crap (literally) going around. Got called to the main...
  13. Cutters

    I'm so glad we have that resource in the school. I tend to forget they are trained to do so much more than make schedules and help with college
  14. I really think I've been set up.

    I'd go talk to your nurse manager. You know you messed up, doesn't sound like someone is trying to set you up. Those "nit picky rules" are there for a reason- to cover your butt and it's usually best...
  15. Cutters

    Update- Guidance still trying to reach parents. Pre-existing psych. condition and already under psych care. His girlfriend had cut herself, and it made him made, so he decided to cut himself to show...

    I was, but not during nursing school. Gamma Sigma
  18. Hearing loss!

    Are you done reading my mind? LOL I was pitiful right after I lost my hearing. I cried and cried, and was so frustrated at my husband because he didn't get it. He joked about it then, but I certainly...
  19. Hearing loss!

    Hello! I saw the other thread, but didn't want this to get buried in there. I lost part of my hearing last year (May 24, 2007 around 10pm if you want to be exact). LOL I had been a nurse 2 years...
  20. Got hurt at work, sad :( and a vent, too...(long)

    Congrats!!! What a huge accomplishment! I had a classmate who quit smoking. He had a calculator on his PDA that he would show his patients who smoked. It showed how much he had saved by quitting...
  21. Immediate care

    As you gain experience, depending on the field you enter (ICU or ER), ACLS and PALS will give you some great experience that you can use in a hospital setting. It's important to remember though, when...
  22. When wasting narcotics...

    Yes, I watch the medicine get wasted. Being in the same room and them standing at the sink or sharps box does not
  23. EtOH Levels...

    Does anyone ever bet on how high levels will be? LOL We used to do that! What's the highest you've seen? I can't remember the highest number, but it certainly was incompatible with
  24. Hearing loss!

    LMAO- I like the name of the club. I'm always saying "HUH? Do what?" since my husband STILL hasn't learned to not talk and walk away from me at the same time. LOL Your experience sounds a lot like...
  25. Nurses who are deaf, partial hearing loss?

    I think there was some personal background there and more of an inside joke between friends, not a slam to those with hearing loss. Sure, I take it seriously, but if I can't joke about it, then it's...
